DATES: Wednesday, July 3rd – Sunday, July 7th
Ken Wilcox Horse Camp at Haney Meadows is located near the summit of Blewitt Pass about 8 east miles off Highway 97. The camp is at about 5500’ has a long-storied past with BCHW. A fire in 2012 damaged much of the camp area and surrounding trail system. BCHW volunteers helped restore the camp area, made improvements, and cleared trails every year. Recent years new growth has become a problem with major wind events has brought much of the dead standing timber down. Combined with new growth overtaking the trails, most of the trail system is clogged. We will continue our volunteer efforts again this year and could use lots of help. The goal here is to keep the Ken Wilcox Horse Camp and the surrounding trail system open to all stock users and the public to enjoy.
